    Thank you Mr. Jonathan for sharing some treats to the locals here in the Philippines. ❤️

    When I was a kid living in the Philippines, I used to be able to eat any kind of Balut. When I moved to California, eating Balut became pretty rare and it made me not like older eggs. Just not used to the texture of the feathers and bones anymore but I really enjoy less developed eggs. Some of which are less developed than the ones on this video. Glad you were able to try it. Happy New Year

    Adding Lemon/Calamansi to any seafood dish brings out the real flavor of the dish. This mixture in the bottle was most likely vinegar, garlic, and kalamansi. That would give the raw urchin the ceviche or kilawin taste.

  • @dwbhlg89

    The trick in eating balut is, put vinegar, salt and put the whole thing inside the mouth (of course after removing the shells). Do not bite it little by little.

    Hi! Been following you for a few months now and enjoying your videos. Thanks!
    Balut is simply fertilized duck egg embryo. What you get depends on the age of incubation of the egg before it is boiled for consumption. It usually ranges from 14-18 days. The longer the incubation, the more mature the embryo. I’ve only eaten a whole balut twice in my whole life! I usually just like the soup (amniotic fluid) and the yolk. More power to you and your channel!

    eating balut is not for everyone, so it's perfectly fine if you didn't like it. i learned the way to eat balut is to NOT stare at the duck embryo - and to just eat it all in one go, never small bites that would expose the parts. and i always ask for the 18 days balut (a.k.a. Balut sa puti). nice vid.

Later in the video at 17:26, Jonathan refers to the extra balut egg and says, " I'm not going to eat this, I'm going to give this away" and then she says to him, I'll save it for myself my love." Truly a start of a beautiful friendship.

    Hi Jonathan, I can definitely see why you got grossed out by the Balut. I don't like eggs so I can't imagine having to eat it. I guess they must incubate Duck eggs until the proper time and them boil the eggs to kill the developing Duck. I have heard others say as well that it tastes very similar to eating a regular boiled egg. Jonathan, wishing you a Healthy and Happy 2023.

    Whenever you eat balut try not to look at it... Just peel the shell and eat straight except the hard part of the balut. I can eat six-seven balut in between shots of rum or whisky.
